Architects’ Billings Decline Amid Projected Slowdown in Commercial Construction Spending

The business climate for architects extended its decline in December and, in a foreboding sign, construction projects appear headed toward a slowdown in 2024, according to the American Institute of Architects.

Monthly billings sent by architects to clients in December scored 45.4 based on a monthly index compiled by the AIA and software maker Deltek. That followed scores of 45.3 in November and 44.3 in October. Any score below 50 indicates a decline in billings.

The AIA also reported that the pace of spending for commercial construction will drop to a growth rate of 4% in 2024. That’s down from the 20% year-over-year growth recorded in 2023. The 2024 forecast is based on a survey of industry professionals.

The organization has undertaken initiatives to promote equity, including guides for architecture firms on creating inclusive cultures and addressing disparities. They are also highlighting the achievements of women and minority architects to inspire the next generation.
